Spread the Word: Paraeducator Area of Concentration Courses Offered This Summer

Heartland AEA is offering four Paraeducator Area of Concentration courses this summer. A prerequisite for these courses is having completed and received the Paraeducator Generalist (Level I) certification. Each of these courses can be used as the three credits needed to renew a paraeducator certificate and can also be used to add an area of concentration to a paraeducator certificate.

The cost to register for each course is $180. The fee to add an area of concentration to your paraeducator certificate through the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners is $25 (subject to change) once you complete the course.

Paraeducator Concentration: English as a Second Language (ESL)
June 1, June 15 & June 29, 2024 (3 hours)
Via Zoom + online work due by June 30, 2024

For the ESL course only, Title III funds will provide a stipend of $300 for all paraeducators who work with English Learners, fulfill the course requirements and are currently employed by a public or non-public PK-12 school in the Heartland AEA service area. (Not available for employees of Des Moines Public Schools or Johnston Schools.) A reimbursement claim form will be available at the end of class.
